Creating and Signing A Digital Certificate
So, the way this should be really done (imho):
You ask your local Certificate Authority(CA) to sign it for you. If you're like CSUEASTBAY and don't have a local CA, go to verisign or one of the other companies (online) and have them sign your certificate (this costs money) - This way, they'll be saying "I can verify who mpdl.mcs.csueastbay.edu is".
However, if you can't afford it and just want to self-sign your certificates,(note that using ssl doesn't require you to have a certificate...but your application might require it). This
page has very good information on how to create and self-sign a digital certificate.
